Broken Cacko IPKG Graphical Installer

[omega]

Somehow my graphical installer doesn't work any more. When i try to install some packages that used to work (i uninstalled some of these first to test) "i get unknown characters that this application can not handle".

Other packages just return with that "ipkg encountered an error. sorry"

When i go into the console and try to install with ipkg install filename.ipk i get this:

***

$ ipkg install zimage_1.0.4_arm.ipk
The following package were previously requested but have not been nstalled:
error

If i press N it just installs and works (e.g. scummvm) but it doesn't seem to make an icon.

Haven't tried this myself, but I've seen others recommend
ipkg error remove

This clears out the error log of ipkg and other ipks should now happily install

Sorry Stubear, but it does not recognise the error command.

[omega]

does anyone know where i can remove the error file manually?

Thanks Stubear, it's actually ipkg remove error!  Solved my problem.

The initial problem at least is probably this:

Yep tumnus, i'd say your correct! When i started installing it from the command line i had to remove the space from the folder name to access it... how does one access a directory with a space in the name in Linux?

[clofland]

Use your TAB key to autocomplete, and the shell will show you how. It is something like

cd with\ space/

to get to a dir called "with space"

Thanks Stubear, it's actually ipkg remove error!  Solved my problem.

Damm my dyslexia

Glad you worked it out though
